Poems about November reflect themes of transition, gratitude, and contemplation. As autumn wanes, these poems capture the chill in the air, the beauty of bare trees, and the spirit of Thanksgiving. They evoke feelings of nostalgia and introspection, marking the passage of time and preparation for winter.
‘On Raglan Road’ is a superb rendering of the breakdown of a relationship that brilliantly examines the way regret works.
On Raglan Road on an autumn day I met her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue;
I saw the danger, yet I walked along the enchanted way,
And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day.
